CO2 laser heat source to perform splicing, adiabatic tapering (to create MFAs or pump combiners), lensing, or other glass shaping operations with glass diameters of 2 .3 mm or more . The high resolution optical analysis system works in conjunction with on-board firmware for fully automatic splicing, tapering and other glass shaping processes . High precision glass processing is enabled by the intuitive and user-friendly on-board firmware (virtually identical to that of the Fujikura FSM-100 ARCMaster splicers) . Operations may also be performed manually and by PC control . A SpliceLab PC control GUI is supplied with the LZM-100 to provide additional features, greater flexibility and finer control . The SpliceLab GUI is pre-installed on the All-in-one computer . Customers can also create proprietary PC control algorithms using a complete set of PC control commands . LZM -100 Features • CO2 laser heat source eliminates electrode or filament maintenance, provides extremely stable operation and greatly reduces the need for periodic calibration • Automated laser beam diameter control to fine tune the size of the heating area • An advanced configurable system capable of producing tapers, ball lenses, combiners, MFAs, glass shaping and splicing • Excellent performance for dissimilar diameter fiber splicing • Ultra high strength splicing • Redundant automated laser safety features 2 mm to 125 μm Splice • 2 .3 mm maximum fiber diameter (larger fibers may be spliced manually) • Long travel / high resolution Z motion for long adiabatic tapers • Automatic operation by on-board LZM-100 splicer firmware, manual operation or operation by PC (PC and SpliceLab GUI included with the LZM-100 system) • Intuitive SpliceLab PC GUI: Easy to understand, navigate and operate • Complete set of PC command codes enables users to develop proprietary processes Ordering Information DESCRIPTION ITEM NO.

  • ATMOSPHERIC DIVING SUITS Kyznecov RR, Egorov IB
    УДК 004.9 ATMOSPHERIC DIVING SUITS Kyznecov R.R., Egorov I.B., Scientific adviser: senior teacher Labusheva T.M. Siberian Federal University In our lives, information technology is found almost in everything - in smart stoves and in supercomputers. And atmospheric diving suits are not an exception. The report is dedicated to them. It will show the way they are connected to our future profession and what they can do. The most important periods of the atmospheric diving suit evolution are given below: LETHBRIDGE 1715 (UK) The first recorded attempt at protecting a diver in a rigid armor was done by John Lethbridge of Devonshire. It happened in England in 1715. The oak suit offered by him had a viewing port and holes for the diver’s arms. Water was kept out of the suit by greased leather cuffs which sealed around the operator’s arms. The device was said to have made many working dives to 60ft/18m. Lethbridge’s device probably performed as claimed. It is known from the painstaking work of Belgian expert, Robert Stenuit. Working under the protection of Comex with assistance from Comex’s founder, Henri Delauze, Stenuit imitated and operated as the "Lethbridge Engine," using only materials and techniques available in day time. JIM In 1960s an English company called DHB was interested very mush in Atmospheric Diving Suits. With the help of the government it started to perfect the Peress Tritonia suit from 1930 that it found out by coincidence and luck. After performing some tests with the old suit it became obvious that the joints had to be designed again.

And, as mentioned, we have demonstrated capability in-house to integrate our many unique and signature interconnect technologies into turnkey systems and assemblies. In each of the following examples, Glenair performed exactly in this manner, acting not merely as a supplier, but as an application engineering and design partner to these landmark programs. Glass-Sealed Hermetics for the X-38 Crew Return Vehicle Glenair supplied specialized glass-sealed hermetic connectors to The X-38 program, an experimental autonomous spacecraft designed and built for the purposes of shuttling space crew back to Earth in an orbital emergency. The X-38 Glenair has been an essential go-to supplier and design partner for Crew Return Vehicle hermetically-sealed connectors on space flight programs since the 1980s. < Hermetic sealing available in circular and rectangular packages Glenair: The Most Trusted QwikClamp® Backshells for the International Space Station The Glenair QwikClamp® backshell was purpose-designed for use on the ISS.

  • Transverse Oscillations of an Underwater Beam-Cable System
    Transverse Oscillations of an Underwater Beam-Cable System Max Blanco and Philip A. Wilson ∗ ∗ School of Engineering Sciences, University of Southampton, Southampton, UK, SO17 1BJ. Abstract: An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle refuel station is proposed. The power source is located on board a surface vessel, while the AUV is serviced at depth. The structure which connects the two craft is modelled as a cable-beam. Transverse oscillations of this cable-beam system are investigated through a fourth-order differential equation. Keywords: beams, cables, trigonometry, Bernoulli-Euler equation, transverse oscillation, system identification, analytic solution to fourth-order differential equation 1. INTRODUCTION The eventual aim of this work is to manufacture an AUV refuel or recharge station, as depicted in Fig. 1, in which a surface craft powers a submerged AUV. Several advantages obtain with this concept, among which are productivity and operator safety. The transverse vibration which is analysed here is but one strand of an effort to solve a ship-cable-towfish interaction in an arbitrary seaway. That the system may be liable to irregular Vortex-Induced Vibrations (VIV) was discovered by Blanco, M. [2010]. A calculation was made of frequency based on the taut string theory of Milburn, D. A. [1983]. That calculation, which revealed the fundamental frequency to be on the order of milliHertz, was problematic because the physics of the taut string do not account for the composite nature of the cable, which is in general a helical arrangement of Fig. 1.
